Hi Rick,

Tuning the cache is someone of a black art, but the ISA Server team
really came thorugh recently with a great article on performance best
practices over at:

ISA Server Performance Best Practices:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/isa/isaprfbp.asp?fram
e=true

Check it out. One thing I would change right now is the update
frequency. Set them to "normal" unless you have a clone army for
employees :-)

HTH,
Tom

Hello,

I am in a real bind....

Does anyone have information a tweaking the performance of ISA and the
cache? I have read many articles but none that is helping.

Our configuration consists of:

ISA Enterprise edition in Integrated mode

2 Compaq servers

Load balanced with RainWall

Win2K Advanced server

PIII 2@500 MHZ

2 GB Memory

29000 Megs of cache.

Inside NIC is GigaBit

Outside NIC is 10/100 running at 100.

Caching is set to 40%, No Less Than: 50 Mins., No More Than 1 Day

Active caching is set to "Frequently"


At times the performance is horrible! I can verify this by bypassing ISA
and
go directly to the web and see a large difference in performance....I
really
don't get it. MS has looked over our config. from a past issue and said
our
config. was good. I am having a rough time finding a bottleneck here, I
had
better performance from MS Proxy 2.0.....

ANYthing would be helpful at this point. 

Thank you,

Rick
